🎧 Episode Summary:

In this episode, I’m getting real about something we don’t talk about enough—falling out of love with your business. We all start with passion and excitement, but somewhere along the way, things can start feeling more like a grind than a joy. So, what happened? And more importantly, how do we fix it?

I’m diving into the big reasons business owners lose their spark—feeling stuck with no growth, battling imposter syndrome, and dealing with clients who drain the life out of you. But don’t worry, this isn’t just a vent session—I’m also sharing practical ways to reignite your passion, set better boundaries, and bring back the joy in your business. Because let’s be honest—if you’re not loving what you do, something needs to change. Let’s talk about how to make that happen.
